The puppies are leaving soon

So we have worked really hard to find them good homes, keep them socialized, vetted, healthy, and housetrained. And for the most part the evil ones have been doing really well. There is much praise and sweet talk going on in our back yard and the neighbors have found it very amusing. For some reason the sight of me in my housecoat, disheveled hair and slippers in the early morning or late night, saying Good Puppy, Good Pee, Good Poo, has them all in stitches. The pups will be leaving for their new homes as soon as they are altered and we can go back to looking at dogs in shelters. There has seemed to be no time to get out and about to see who needs us the most.
West Coast Rottweiler Rescue does have a senior dog in care right now by the name of Ruby. At this point I don’t think that placing Ruby in another home is in her best interest and I think that we will just keep her in the foster home as long as they will keep her. It is far too hard on these old ones to move them around. Right now Ruby is healthy enough but how long we can manage her is up to her. As with all rott’s of her age, it is a day by day thing.
We are trying to gear up for the Cloverdale Christmas Pet & Craft fair later this month. Right now we are hoping that people can help us with donations of items that we can sell or offer at prizes. Anything is good. Gift certificates are popular as are small items. Things that we can bring people to our booth for. This fair is traditionally a great fundraiser and a chance for us to get our name out there. We are still so new that many don’t know we even exist. If you can help in any way, please let us know. We can pickup items anywhere in the lower mainland area and every little bit helps.
